I would be okay with no email draft or an all-email/draft website draft. I think trying to do both is what is tough. The other league I am in does just the website draft, and it runs incredibly smooth. There are no uncarded players so that definitely helps, though. Maybe we should vote this season on an approach to the draft. That being said, I think the history of this league involves a core set of guys who have gotten together for a face-to-face draft, which is a hoot, so it would make sense to continue that tradition. If that is the case, then a one day marathon draft is probably best. The excitement of the first few picks/round one choices is gone by now anyway. By round 5 in a 30 keeper league leaves out all but a few gems or new prospects to sort through. Just my thoughts. Having set up the draft website this year I selfishly would like to see it used if only as some result of those labors. But c'est la vie! I'm just glad to be in baseball season! My football team tanked... Happy drafting...whatever we do! Tim O.

I just got email Sat he just got his cards and email today to send him current file to sort them. I gave my word and should have stopped after 3rd round anyway. But I let everyone keep pushing me to continue. Sorry but w less than 12 more days till draft your not going to make me break by promise. I resent you telling me I being unfair and stopped because I got the game I sent out email we were stopping because I found out LOU got his game and as far as I know was the first one! I told EVERYONE in email after that if they didnt want to draft in 4th round to advise me NO ONE DID! U can check group email site please and you will find that email. I think maybe we should do away with the email draft all together as it has been nothing but a pain in my ........

Everyone before you have drafted WITHOUT their game cards and now you and the remaining teams have a advanatge over the teams that have drafted without the cards. Don't you understand that? The advantage is in your court. That is not fair so get drafting so it is fair for all 20 teams. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 1, 2009 8:42:35 PM Subject: Re: WHY DID THE DRAFT STOP? The draft stopped because as stated before the draft started we were only going to draft 2 or 3 rounds by email. As U can see we have almost finished 4 rounds and the draft in now less than 2 wks away. I decided that since the game had already been recd by at least 2 teams it was not fair to make teams that had not recd their yet to draft. FIY I was one of the 2 that got the games.

Also this year we need to enforce the usage rules since the new computer disk will stop teams form over playing their players. If one team does not play by the rules then why should any of us play by the rules. ____________________________________________________________ Click here to find experienced pros to help with your home improvement project. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/BLSrjnsINCSeeFoiSYTo6QShRGdUibAb9mzh9nzY76MbHGexsdjUcdUoucg/ ____________________________________________________________ Purify your water with professional water treatment.
